After the break, I asked Governor Healy about the migrant crisis that has played out during her time in office. And we talk more about the Trump administration's campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion.

Governor Healey, the number two issue in your state, according to polling, is immigration, which is something that has plagued Democrats in the last election. 2023 was the year where states like yours saw a big surge. That's also when you became governor. Can you tell me how you've seen this particular issue play out?

One of the most visible strategies Republican governors adopted during the height of the migrant crisis was sending buses and planes of migrants to blue states like yours. Very memorably, Martha's Vineyard. It was a stunt, but you could argue that it worked. It made immigration enforcement into a blue state issue, which it had not been. Shouldn't it always have been, though?

I mean, is it not fair to say that Democrats really did not take this issue seriously?

And yet a poll just came out from UMass and WCBV showing that immigration is very important to people here and a majority of voters don't approve of the way that you've handled it. Why do you think that is?

I mean, you've said before that the right to shelter law wasn't actually made to help waves and waves of people sort of settle here. And you are now seeking to change it. I am curious, why did you come to that decision? Because I think what you're trying to do, among other things, is require anyone seeking shelter to prove that they're in the country legally.

As you know, Trump's borders are Tom Homan singled Boston out at CPAC last week. He called out Boston's police commissioner who said because of state law, he won't be enforcing immigration orders against migrants. Homan then said, and I'm quoting here, I'm coming to Boston and bringing hell with me. And I'm wondering what your response to that is.

I think your police commissioner said basically that they weren't going to help ICE remove people with orders of removal, as happens in many sanctuary cities.
